Therefore, it isnt a very satisfying (or even interesting) answer to assume that the universe has always existed.We humans want to understand what caused the universe to become the way that it is today, from something that was probably a lot more simple than it presently is.If youd consider it to be an interesting answer, you are more than welcome to have that opinion.......

As a previous poster mentioned, the human mind is instinctively curious to understand cause and effect. Therefore, it isn't a very satisfying (or even interesting) answer to assume that the universe has always existed. We humans want to understand what caused the universe to become the way that it is today, from something that was probably a lot more simple than it presently is.
If you'd consider it to be an interesting answer, you are more than welcome to have that opinion. I don't have that opinion, but you might.
While you are entitled to your own opinions, you aren't entitled to your own facts or evidence. And in the last century, astronomers and cosmologists have gathered quite a bit of evidence to show the contrary. This evidence overwhelmingly supports the hypothesis of the primordial singularity (aka the big bang), more than it supports the steady state hypothesis.

Or, a simplified explanation of this evidence:

one of the deepest and most important questions in science, philosophy and theology
NOBODY KNOWS
we observe that the universe we are aware of changes. there are strong arguments that it cannot be eternal or infinite but they are NOT certain proofs
some very smart people are thinking about that. with in the Roman Catholic Church in the early days there were very smart people, Augustine and others who argued for creation and God. BUT their way of thinking was different from what we call scientific logic and cannot be compared.
really good question
According to the Big Bang theory,it existed before as an extremely dense,hot singularity-it was
very,very small. Then something caused it to expand faster than the speed of light,and it is still doing so. So it did always exist,just not in the form it is today.
